You know those silly little plastic cases every filter seems to come with?

I bought a Variable ND filter, and it actually came without one. It's got an oversize cardboard box (probably to hold 100mm filters - the filter I bought is only 58mm) that doesn't protect the filter from the box's own lint. So I'm looking for a case.

Amazon and others only seem to have "filter wallets" and other nonsense. Nonsense, I say, because my experience with these "filter wallets" is they trap dust and dirt, and are very difficult to clean. About the only way dust and dirt leaves the individual pouches is when said dust and dirt attaches itself to the filter.

I've never had such a problem with the individual plastic boxes most/many filters are sold in. But I can't find replacement boxes!

Anyone know a place that sells them? If not, a suitable case system that's easy to keep clean?

BTW, filter caps are frustrating when rotating filters such as polarizers are included in the stack. So that's not a real option for me, either.

Thanks!

Concerning stack caps I meant EXACTLY
what I wrote, and only wrote two words
so as to preempt any confusion.

Well, that was neighborly!

No intentions of being neighborly ...
helpful, sure, but neighborly ? No.

Such a simple solution, why make it
complex ? No one ever said he had to
STACK his filters. No one really does
that except for storage at home. As a
a picture is not worth much anymore,
but prolly still worth a coupla dozen
words or so ....

Clearly, one isn't forced to always use the
screw-on type, but whenever there isn't any
choice, I paint the little red dot to show me
where the threading easily starts to hold.

That dioptre lens will not accept a screw-in
front cap anywho. The class curvature goes
well ahead of the front threads. The Minolta
snap-on has a lotta hollow space, so it fits
without crashing into the glass.

The other filter is one of those "Wide Angle"
polarizers [with built-in step-up to prevent
corner cut-off]. Those things never fit into
regular filter cases. The rear thead is 55mm
so I just snap in a 52mm cap. The "center-
squeeze" types seem to generally provide a
more reliable grip.
